“Perfect!”

Reviewed 28 Dec 2017

I don’t think it could have been improved in anyway, it was just perfect. Beautiful location, fabulous accommodation, spotlessly clean and everything you could need to hand. Gill was a lovely host and made us so welcome. Even greeted us with mince pies and a bottle of bubbly, thank you so much! The buildings and grounds are extremely well maintained and even in mid winter look great. We met the alpacas’s who are absolutely gorgeous and so pretty. It was truly a lovely Christmas, thank you Gill for allowing us to bring our dogs too. We will return and most definitely recommend The Cartlodge to family and friends. 1st class accommodation, facilities and location x.
